Once in a While
Whispers of Yesterday: Gene Ammons' Timeless Reflections on Love
Lyrics
Once in a while will you try to give
Requesting occasional consideration
One little thought to me
Asking for a small amount of attention or regard
Though someone else may be
Despite someone else being closer emotionally
Nearer your heart?
Questioning if there's space for feelings for oneself
Once in a while will you dream
Hoping for occasional thoughts or fantasies
Of the moments I shared with you
Recalling shared experiences
Moments before we two
Reflecting on moments before a separation
Drifted apart?
Recognizing the distance that grew between
In love's smoldering ember
Love's lingering warmth
One spark may remain
Suggesting a possibility for revival
If love still can remember
Love's potential for recollection
That spark may burn again
Hope for reignition of love
I know that I'll be contented
Acceptance of finding solace in past memories
With yesterday's memory
Being satisfied with reminiscing about the past
Knowing you think of me
Awareness of being in someone's thoughts
Once in a while
Desire for occasional remembrance
In love's smoldering ember
Echoing the hope for a revival in love
One spark may remain
Reiteration of the possibility of rekindling
If love still can remember
Love's potential to recall past emotions
The spark may burn again
Hopeful anticipation of love's resurgence
I know that I'll be contented
Being at peace with holding onto memories
With yesterday's memory
Contentment found in memories of the past
Knowing you think of me
Acknowledging being in someone's thoughts occasionally
Once in a while
Repeating the desire for sporadic remembrance
